Chris Chris' Tips
We offer 3 similar titles about lathes. They were all originally published in the early 1940's, and they all cover pretty much the same material.

How to Run a Lathe is the best-known title, published by South Bend Lathe Works.

The Care and Operation of a Lathe has the best information on grinding tools bits.

Running An Engine Lathe was written by an independent author, not affiliated with a lathe manufacturer. This means that this book doesn't have sections on uncrating and setting up a particular lathe. What it does have is instructions that are more general, and not focused on a particular lathe. This is my favorite of the three books.
